Estonia 2 Euro 2018 100 Years Independence Coloured

Here the 2018 special coloured 2 Euro coin from Estonia "100 Years of Independence". Estonia declared its independence on 24 February 1918. It was a turbulent time in Europe at the time. The Russian revolution had just occurred, and the First World War was coming to an end. Despite the fact that Estonia was not always a truly free country in the last 100 years, as it was for decades a satellite state of Russia, the Estonians always tried to maintain their own identity. In the year 2018 it is 100 years since Estonia became an independent country and to celebrate this a special 2 Euro coin has been issued. On this coloured 2 Euro coin both the number 100 and the number 18 are displayed in a very clever, cryptic manner. These numbers are coloured in a unique way according to the national colours of Estonia. A number of peace pigeons are depicted within these numbers. The text æSADA AASTAT EESTI VABARIIKIÆ is coloured light blue. This text is consistent with the numbers and is literally translated as "100th anniv ersary of the Republic of Estonia". In addition, the country name EESTI (Estonia) together with the year 2018 are shown. Both are also light blue in colour. What is remarkable about this coin is that the circulation of the coin is equal to the number of inhabitants of Estonia, being 1,317,800 copies. This is to extra symbolize the people of Estonia.
